So the website says “Updated Mondays”. But I’m having trouble getting the comic up on Mondays, particularly when summer weekends are so busy. But I don’t want to change that to “Updated Tuesdays”, because it doesn’t solve the problem that I run late. You’d just get the comic on Wednesday. You follow? So, the site says Monday, but you can probably expect comics Tuesdays. Unless I get it done by Monday. Point is, Monday is the target, and I may likely over-shoot it.

I had a wedding and a birthday today, so my inks are only just now getting done. I would expect the comic tomorrow. G’nite!

My wife’s best friend and my 2 year old daughter, respectively. My daughters were flowergirls in the wedding, so we were pretty involved. All in all my weekend was over before it started, but we had a good time.

Nah, it needs to say Monday for my sake. If I change it to anything less specific, I’ll miss the date entirely. I’d rather be guilty of being a day late, than have no target at all. We’d lose all sense of order.

As long as you don’t specify which Mondays the comic is updated, there’s really no problems (and if you update some other day, you can always say that it’s the next Monday’s comic, published slightly earlier),

The style of EVERY form of art changes as time goes on. The artist experiments, tries new things, rejects old things, and altogether tightens their skill. I first noticed this as the target demographic for Nickelodeon’s Rugrats, comparing the pilot to “Tommy’s First Birthday” (the first episode) to the series finale.

Also, I’ve changed the process. In the beginning, I would pencil and ink each page on scratch paper, scan each panel in, color it. Then, after “book 1″, I stopped using ink all together, would just scan in dark pencils and color it using a looser ‘painty’ coloring style. Then we went to full panels, and the natural pencil started looking trashy, so I went to a digital inking solution. The comic is now inked in Manga Studio, and colored in Photoshop using a more hard-lined color method.

I’ll never be satisfied with my process, so it’ll always evolve. I like that it looks a little more loose and ‘sloppy’ these days. It makes me less neurotic about small mistakes. Sorry if it doesn’t have that same perfection feel from before.
